Fintech, Blockchain, and Cryptocurrency

IMcP litigates disputes regarding financial technology (“fintech”); blockchain technology; and cryptocurrency (“crypto”). Our litigation experience in these areas includes cases in federal court, bankruptcy court, state courts, and arbitration.

The economic turbulence around COVID-19 significantly affected and accelerated the adoption of—and new businesses based on—financial technology and blockchain (and digital assets based on blockchain technology, such as crypto). As the dust settles around companies built on that acceleration, many investors are learning more (or trying to learn more) about exactly where their money was going – and whether people lived up to their responsibilities and fiduciary duties.

We aggressively and strategically litigate those matters for our clients, which include investors and high-net-worth individuals in the United States and other countries.

The firm’s fintech, blockchain, and crypto litigation includes high-profile matters receiving national media attention. (see our News/Results tab above). Those cases include claims involving:

• Breach of fiduciary duty
• Self-dealing “loans,” sham notes, and convertible unsecured promissory notes
• Conversion
• Avoidance, fraudulent conveyance, preference, and bankruptcy disputes
• Valuation models as high as $1.7bb
• Conspiracy, tortious interference, and business torts
